Don't know if anyone cares, but this is the beast I've been working on. I hope to drop it in my 73 Olds Cutlass Supreme during the winter. I still need a stout Th-400, and maybe a better rear-end.
It's a 1969 Oldsmobile 455 Big Block (F block), with big valve "C" heads (actually... they're 2.09:1 and 1.72:1 exhaust), with an Eldorado 455 H.O. "K" intake. It's been punched out to a 468, with .030 overbore TRW forged pistons, forged rods (factory), Joe Mondello 20-22 cam, Crane gold roller rockers.
I found these cool wire looms that are used on the original "50s" Oldsmobile motors (small blocks)... so I thought it would be neat to try to adapt that to the big block. I bought them, painted them, and then welded a set of nuts upside down on top of some chrome big block valve covers. It didn't come out too bad!!!
I know... the garage is messy. I've cleaned it up since... I was just moving stuff around and emptying out the boxes, etc... and figured I'd take picture of it.
What does a 468 come out to? Is it still a 7.5 liter? Or is it more like a 7.6?
